What is the Voltage Drop across a dependent current source?

[dep0]

Hello,
I want to calculate the Thevenin/Norton equivalent of a circuit with a dependent current source.
I tried to analyse the circuit using loop equations but i don't know how to calculate the voltage drop across the current source.
Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to the PF.

Can you post the circuit diagram (upload it as an attachment), and show us what work you have done so far?

+1 to that.

The voltage drop across a dependent current source depends on what it's connected to. As a hint, what would be the voltage be across an ordinary current source if it was a) open circuit b) short circuit?

Thank you both for your answers!
I will upload an attachment with the circuit today. I cannot do it now because i don't have my notes with me, but later in the day i will.
